All Beat Retreat Hypnotherapy sessions with the founder, Sarah Yuen Gilliat, are conducted online.
Sessions with Sarah cost 250 GBP or $300 USD and generally last 2-3 hours.
All sessions follow the Beat Retreat PTSD protocol which has proved extremely effective at eliminating PTSD symptoms within just a few weeks.
Most clients require 4-6 sessions to see elimination of all symptoms, but sometimes relief is gained in fewer. Sometimes it takes a little more. The client’s body is in charge of how long it takes; not the hypnotherapist.
The therapist will always be available to the client, even at 3am, by WhatsApp, if they need to talk. There is no extra charge for this service. Insight does not always come during hypnosis. It can be ‘delivered’ hours later.
Hypnotherapy works just as well for children from five years old and up, as for adults.
Beat Retreat Hypnotherapy conducts a free, one hour long, assessment interview for each potential client.
No one is too damaged to treat with clinical hypnotherapy, no matter how long symptoms have been present, or how serious the symptoms are. A symptom is simply a clue, a messaging system, pointing to something that happened a long time ago and is affecting every aspect of your mental and physical health. Hypnotherapy is capable of solving the clues to find the root cause, to eliminate the symptoms permanently.
Every client can reach a hypnotic state, and eliminate their PTSD or C-PTSD symptoms in weeks, if they are determined to do so. The final part of that sentence is the most important. You must be committed to the process and committed to eliminating your symptoms.
The Beat Retreat does not believe in coping mechanisms. You may have already instituted your own, in the form of alcohol, smoking, recreational or prescribed drugs, or comfort eating, but when this therapy is over you will find you won’t need those anymore. Coping mechanisms are not a barrier to hypnotherapy. Nothing is.
If there are any areas of your life that you wish to be off limits to therapy, then it is not time for Beat Retreat Hypnotherapy, because the reason you feel the way you do is what is buried in those ‘off-limit’ thoughts and emotions. You don’t have to share them with the hypnotherapist, but you have to understand that, as far as the parts inside of you that cause your symptoms are concerned, nothing is off limits.
Mental health and physical health are interlinked. We are the sum of our hormones. Our hormones are fed by what we eat. Over many years of treating PTSD, we have repeatedly seen that nutrition can have a profound influence on both mental and physical recovery. For some people, changing what they eat becomes an important part of eliminating symptoms.
Once therapy starts, sessions will last two to three hours and will take place in the comfort of your own home, via Zoom. (Hypnotherapy works just as effectively online as in person, but online carries extra benefits of convenience and privacy.)
You do not need to pay for multiple sessions at once, just one by one. Ideally, you will engage in one session per week.
Before deciding whether Beat Retreat Hypnotherapy is for you, and before booking your assessment interview, please read or listen to the free book of case histories ‘The PTSD Solution: A Military Approach.’
It will show you how the process works, and what to expect over the weeks of treatment. It will also reassure you, and the parts inside of you which are in turmoil, that this can work for you.
